My rebirth is different

"This Facebook game is a bit outrageous. We use pirated games in Internet cafes. We have never seen anyone sue us before, so why should they sue us!" A boss said indignantly.

"He just sued, so what can we do. Come on, don't say such useless words, let's think of a way, if we really want to go to court, I think everyone will feel uncomfortable." Another boss said with a wry smile .

"Let them sue, I don't believe it, even if we lose the lawsuit, how much money can we lose!" Some people said unwillingly.

"Don't mind, losing money is a trivial matter, and it's really not much. But have you ever thought about it, during the lawsuit, they may apply for an injunction and close our Internet cafes." Finally, someone who understands points out the crux of the problem .

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak harshly, because this was everyone's death spot.

"What should I do?"

"How about this, let's send a representative to get in touch with the Facebook gamers and find out what they have to say. I still don't believe it, they will definitely kill our Internet cafes, let's ask them what they plan to do first." A magician All the local Internet cafe owners said.

This suggestion was good, and everyone unanimously recommended that he go to investigate the situation first.

…………

Mr. Tao from Winger Games made an appointment in advance. To his surprise, Mr. Ai from Facebook planned to meet and chat with him.

It's a good sign to meet you!

He immediately drove by himself, from Hangzhou to Shanghai, and arrived at the well-known Xinzhuang Science and Technology Park.

This science and technology park is the base camp of the Facebook company. With the development and growth of Facebook, this park is also widely known in the circle.

Standing at the gate, looking at the dozens of office buildings lined up in the park, and the employees coming and going, Mr. Tao sighed in his heart, looking at the scale of others!

In contrast, the office area of ​​the headquarters of our own company can't keep up with others' one floor, so how can this be compared?

In the science and technology park, on the top of the No. [-] office building, a big sign was newly erected, with four flamboyant characters on it, "Facebook Game"!

Apparently, this building is the headquarters of Facebook Games.

He explained his purpose at the front desk, and soon a female employee came down, this is Ai Fei's assistant, and took Mr. Tao directly to Ai Fei's office.

This is the first time Mr. Tao has met Effie. He has long heard that the president of the Facebook game is a very young girl, only in her twenties.

But when we actually met, Mr. Tao was amazed. Such a young girl should have been studying in college, but now she is in charge of such a big platform as Facebook. In comparison, the so-called I'm really ashamed of the fourth young winger.

"Hi Mr. Tao, welcome to Facebook Game." Effie stood up and greeted with a smile.

Mr. Tao took a step forward and said with a smile on his face: "This is Mr. Ai. He has been admiring his name for a long time. He kept saying that he would pay a visit. Today, he finally got his wish. Haha..."

Although they were about to go to court to fight to the death, the two bosses were all happy when they met, and neither of them showed any displeasure.

After the two came to the sofa and sat down, Mr. Tao said sincerely: "This time, I came to apologize to Mr. Ai. Anyway, the battle function launched by the winger really violated your company's copyright , We didn’t realize this before, the lack of copyright awareness, this is our fault.”

Since he came to ask for peace, of course he had to show his attitude, so as soon as Mr. Tao came up, he put himself in the position of a "weak person". What is an apology? do it.

Effie smiled without saying a word, and continued to listen to him.

"The second point is that the domestic Internet circles say that they are big or small. Everyone is in the same industry. They should help each other and make progress together. There is no need to fight to the death. The chess and card game market is large enough. It is impossible for a family to have all So I think we should reconcile and not be distracted by these chores. Mr. Ai should have heard that the Tencent game platform will be launched soon, and this is our biggest opponent. What do you think? "President Tao said while observing Effie's expression.

If the winger game is willing to bow down, instead of competing for the field of online battles, and concentrate on doing the local chess and card games it is good at, then Effie can't tolerate it.

Indeed, as Mr. Tao said, no matter how powerful the chess and card game platform is, it is impossible to occupy all the market. After all, there are some players who like to play on some small platforms and have fixed playing methods.Therefore, in the future, the Facebook game platform may occupy [-]% to [-]% or even higher market share, but it is impossible to account for [-]%.After all, there are still one or two competitors. It may be winger, Lianzhong, or Tencent game platform.

"Does Mr. Tao have any constructive suggestions for coming this time?" Effie finally spoke, and she looked at Mr. Tao with a smile.

According to Yu Wenfei's instructions, the Facebook game side has already made two-handed preparations. If the opponents (including wingers and Internet cafe owners) fight, they will fight to the end, and the methods will be very tough!

If the opponent admits defeat and takes the initiative to seek peace, then the Facebook game will not deceive people too much. As long as one's "strategic goal" can be achieved, an out-of-court settlement is also possible.

In short, litigation is only a means, not an end!

Chapter 529 Reconciliation

Hearing Effie's tone, Mr. Tao seemed to have room for maneuver, and immediately regained his energy.

"Of course! I came here with sincerity this time. Our winger and Facebook have never been deadly rivals. They should be complementary. You are working on the whole country, and we are in the local market. Now that Ogilvy has been acquired by Facebook, those games The agency rights are in the hands of Facebook Games, so we will immediately offline these battle functions. In fact, in order to show our sincerity, the winger game platform has already been offline at the moment I set off from Hangzhou to Shanghai battle zone."

Effie was a little surprised. I didn't expect that the wingers were really determined. They "surrendered" before the lawsuit was filed?

Of course, although she can't understand it, she can also understand how sad life is for people like winger after being "bombarded" by Yu Wenfei's post during this period of time.

"Very well, I did see the sincerity of the winger." Effie nodded.

Seeing that things were going well, Mr. Tao was even happier, and he hit the rails while it was hot: "We will also post a formal apology on the winger's official website, apologizing for the winger's infringement of the rights and interests of the Facebook game. But compensation... Mr. Ai also knows , winger is just a small website, that..."

As he spoke, he showed embarrassment.

"Does Tao always want to settle out of court with our Facebook game?" Effie asked with great interest.

"Yes... yes..., I think it's better not to bring this matter to court. No matter who wins or loses, it will not look good." Mr. Tao said sincerely.

Although he doesn't agree with his words, Effie also knows that it doesn't matter whether there is a lawsuit or not, as long as the set goal can be achieved.

"Well then, I'll give Mr. Tao two options. The first option, as you said, is to take off the relevant infringing functions, apologize on the official website, and compensate Facebook for economic losses of 500 million!" Effie said, raising a finger.

Mr. Tao became anxious when he heard it. What's going on?

When I was sued by Ogilvy & Mather for the first time, I only claimed 200 million yuan, why now it has changed to 500 million yuan!

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask back, Effie stopped him.

"Don't worry, I know Mr. Tao is meaningful to 500 million. But you have to know that Ogilvy is Ogilvy, and Facebook is Facebook. Let me tell you a fact, that is, the cost of this lawsuit, just hiring a lawyer, is far more than 500 million."

Mr. Tao was immediately dumbfounded. He had inquired about the lawyer representing Facebook this time, but he had a lot of background.The Global Law Firm specially invited from the capital, this law firm has an astonishingly large background!

Presumably Effie is not lying, and 500 million may not be enough for the lawyer's fee.

"The second option is to also take the infringing function offline. We don't need to pay compensation, but..." Effie said again.

As soon as he heard that there was no need for compensation, Mr. Tao immediately regained his spirits, and he quickly asked: "But what? Mr. Ai can say it, as long as we can do it!"

"But apologizing on your official website is not enough. You must make a public apology on the Hangcheng Daily, and your attitude must be sincere enough." Effie said with a half-smile.

This is... a bit uncomfortable.

If Effie followed what Effie said and made a public apology in the newspaper, wouldn't everyone know that the winger had indeed infringed? This would be too embarrassing.

But Mr. Tao thought about it again, it's better than losing the lawsuit, it's better to apologize and pay compensation!

Isn't it just an apology?

Apologizing once is the truth, and twice, it doesn't matter!

He gritted his teeth, "Okay! Just do what Mr. Ai said! I'll call our company's attorney to come over and we'll sign a settlement agreement!"
